Women die in Mogadishu while removing rubbish thrown into the steets by men


Poem Artwork

They were five friends
They were friends in peace
They were petals of beauty
They were mothers of love
They were young Somali women
They were somali women cleaners
But in the garbage strewn streets
A bomb was left hidden in the dirt
Soon as the women began the work
A terrifying explosion was heard
All the five women died on the spot
Well before leaving for the worksite
Children said to these five mothers
"We are awfully hungry bring us bread"
But only bits and pieces of flesh
Have Reached the poor little children
In life their sweat drained in dignity
And in death their blood mixed in dignity

Abdi-noor, how horrible, how wrenching to hear of innocent women dying from the hatred of men. Take the food from the arms manufacturers to give to the babies who lost their mothers, and give those parasites the pieces of human flesh in its place.....

How to forgive those who cause such horror...

Please take care of yourself and those around you. Fergus

This adds to the sadness in my heart about the situation in Somalia. Allaha u naxariisto hablahaan. They sacrificed their lives for their society. The same society worked on taking their lives by being ruthless and leaving bombs in trash.
Thank you brother.
